Abstract: Halophytes are good material for study of plant salt tolerance mechanism and cloning salt-tolerant genes due to its reflecting ofplants’ adaptive strategies. In this review, molecular mechanism of halophytes in response to salt stress was reviewed in respects of transcriptionfactors, regulation of osmotic balance, ion homeostasis, regulation of redox reaction, regulation of photosynthesis and metabolic changes. Inaddition to this, the prospects of study of plant salt tolerance mechanism were also analyzed.

Key words: Halophytes , Salt tolerance , Molecular mechanism , Adaptation , Regulation
